Looks like Leighton Meester and Garrett Hedlund formed a close bond on the set of Country Stong. The co-stars were spotted getting cozy Sunday night at HBO’s official after party following the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards and OK! has the dish on their budding relationship! HINT: They are more than friends…

“Yes they’re hooking up, it’s nothing serious just a few dates here and there,” an insider close to Leighton confirms to OK!. “It’s really early still to know much more than that they’re having fun with each other right now.”

Leighton has been keeping her love life very private since her split from Gossip Girl costar Sebastian Stan last year.

The 24-year-old actress recently shared her opinions about love in Allure magazine: “It’s wonderful to be in love. And it’s definitely wonderful to cuddle and have sex and get to experience life with somebody,” Leighton explained. “But it’s OK if you don’t find him and you’re 24. You can find it someday.”

While the 26-year-old actor has stayed mum on dating Leighton, he did open up about his kissing scene with another co-star, Gwyneth Paltrow!

“We didn’t even talk about it beforehand,” he said of their on-screen makeout session. “The two of you show up, it’s just really another day at work and being professional and mature about it. I’m more focused on the character and the work and not me.”
